Super Saturday Art Classes

The Super Saturday Art Classes are an integral part of ART 311: Foundations of Art Education and Methods I. The art education program collaborates with The Center for Gifted Studies at Western Kentucky University to offer various art classes where beginning art education majors learn to plan and teach a thematic unit of art lessons for elementary and middle grade children in a supervised setting in the Fall semester. Art education majors continue teaching the Super Saturday Art Classes in the Spring semester. Unlike the Fall semester, students independently teach various art classes with a minimum guidance of the art education faculty.
